Have you ever felt tired and weak? I’m sure we all have from time to time. I was re-reading some verses in Isaiah (Isa 40:28-31) which I’ve read many times, but they encouraged me again today. Verse 28 says that God is never weary which is encouraging in itself! Then verse 29 tells us that God gives us His strength, “He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength” (NKJV). He doesn’t just give strength but increases it! This is a great verse to confess if you need strength. Then verse 31 tells us that those who wait on the Lord will have renewed strength and will even be like eagles, soaring effortlessly. I find it interesting that some versions say those that “wait on the Lord” while others say, “those who trust the Lord.” Either way, we have a part to play. The Hebrew word actually means “to wait, look for, hope, expect.” We must be expecting God to do what He says He will do. Spending time in His presence is waiting on God and that is what leads to strength. I like the way the AMPC uses the analogy of eagles mounting up “close to God.” When we spend time waiting on God we can soar into His presence and be strengthened and then we will, “run and not be weary” and “walk and not faint or become tired” (Isa 40:31b; AMPC). Spend some time waiting on God today and find strength in His presence.
